GIBSON AND JONAS.

GIBSON AND JONAS.
While the gubernat0rial contest is at
white heat, comparatively little is said
Of the far more important Senatorial
election, though it is minated that
the fight over the governorship is a
hippodrome in which McEnery repre>
seDts Eustis and Nichols stands for
Gibson. With such matters we have
nothing to do, but it is our province to
suggest that the people should make
up their minds who both of their Sem
ators shall be. If the people instruct
their legislators as to ono Senator, they
will be sold out as to the other. The
Telegraph favors instructions as to
both Senators and from every consid-
Grafton of principle and policy, if North
Louisiana is out of the race, we believe
that the ticket should be Gibson and
Jonas.
No two men have ever done more for
the State or for the Democratic party
than Gibson and Jonas and il Repub-
lies are ever grateful, Louisiana owes
more to these two men than to any
others.
Go ask Maj. Waddill, President OF
the Fifth District Levee Board, who
has done most for the levee interests
and he will unhesltatingiy answer,
Gibson! Ask the came question OF
every other leading interest in the State
and the answer will be the same. His
influence with the President, his infiu-
ence 10 the Senate and In the political,
social and diplomatic society at Wash
ington, as we'll as his able and stastes.,
manlike utterances on all important
questions proclaim him ga pillar Of
State"
Go ask Barnum who was the most
active and efficient member of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee and he
would answer, Jonas Ask the leaders
of Democracy in 1872, who was the
ocrat in those gloomy days and he will
say, Jonas!
But the TELEGRAPH would prefer to
support all officers, not SO much for
what they have done, but for what
they can do. That is the true touch
stone which the people ought to apply
to man. What will he do with his
office? Will 1t pay to elect him: BY
this test we do not believe it can be
pretended that any two men could be
more sedulously devoted TO the inter-
esis OF the State or could do as much
for those Interests as well as the inter-
ests of the great Democratic party, as
Gibson and Jonas. They have worked
together before, and worked we'll.
They are both friends Of Cleveland and
in accord with his principles and pol
icy. There will be no con Fiction be-
tween themselves or between them and
the National administration. This
cannot be said of any McEnery man.
There is sharp contrast between
Cleveland and McEnery. They are,
indeed, political antipodes. The points
for which they are distinguished are
on tho reverse sides of the political
code. Cleveland is the contradiction of
McEuery and McEnery is the contra
diction of Cleveland. If there is man
in This State who believes that Eustis,
Burke, Jastremski, Houston or McEn-
cry has any love for Cleveland or his
administration, that man should be
written down as an ass.
Don't get things mixed. We believe
that the majority of the people were
in favor of Jonas in 1854 and that the
majority are in favor Of Gibson and
Jonas now. Let the will Of the major
ity be respected in 1888.

DELHI, LA, Nov. III have just
heard of the most awful wholesale poi.
sonirg that ever occurred in any COM
muni!y. On Friday evening, the 18th
inst, Mr.. Geo. G. King gave a dauce
and supper at his residence IN Frauk-
lin parish, four or five miles southwest
of Lamar post0tiice. After supper was
over nearly all the guests were taken
violently sics. Ths doctor was sent
for and pronoun ccd tie sick ness caused
fruin poison of some kind, and Vac un-
able 10 render bat little if any assis-
lance.
The following PERSONS have since
died: Louis King, j., Zen King,
Walter Bel, Lee Ford, john C'Bren,
Jr., aud Miss Minnie Brown, all white,
and Zeke I!!l, coloTed. The following
are very dangerously poisoned, but
were still alive at last accUonts: Wife

boys, Bruce Spires, aud billiard But
Ter, wife and children. Abe Washhurn
was also quite sick, but is now con.
sidered to be our of danger. No mo-

deed. 1t is not supposed the cook to
be the guilty one "a she is dangerously
i'll, and her husband and one or Two of
her children are dead. The doctors

How Volapuk aounda.

Much as have heard and read about Volapuk, the new language which M. Schleyer hopes to make universal, never heard it talked until last week, when, among the guests at the hospitable table of well known medical man of literary tastes, there were two guests who had actually sat at the feet of the inventor of Volapuk, so to speak, and started that tongue under his personal direction. To pblige the rest of us, these two visitors one was Russian and the other Q cosmo- politan-engaged in Q conversation in Vol Rpuk for our edificatiop. would rather not write down in black and white my impression of what heard. One of the guests suggested that Volapuk sounded like double Dutch spoken by Choctaw Indian suffering from chronic croup, while another suggested it was more like 3 Welshman trying to, cough in modern Greek; but it must not be supposed that I lndorse their evidently exaggerated. state ments. Seriously, however, I do not think that Volapuk sounded like the uni- versal language of the future, though I must say that many of its words seem taken from roots common to our own and the German language.-London Figaro.

Example of Chimes. Cruelty.

A sample of Chinese justice is afforded by the case of half witted youth who, in an attack of epilepsy, fatally injured his father. The Chinese law decrees that a son who murders his father, whether he be sane or insane, shall suffer the lingering death-that is, his body is sliced with knives and the torture prolonged for hours. A parallel atrocity was furnished by the sentence to the. same torture of a young Chinese woman who killed her lather.in-law while he was attempting to assault her.-San Francisco Chronicle.
